Holiday Movies!!

Tradition............tradition! Although this is the most well known song from the classic Fiddler on the Roof, I absolutely love traditions. One of the traditions that my family has always done is watch classic movies around Christmas time. The pictures above are some of the ones that I have watched so far. Even though I don't have a family of my own yet, I thoroughly enjoyed watching them by myself! I love cuddling up on my couch with a blanket, the Christmas tree on, and watching these classic and amazing movies. I have been watching bits of them every day and absolutely love it! The next ones on my list are White Christmas and It's a Wonderful Life. I love the holidays and the wonderful classic holiday movies!!

My Job

I have always known I wanted to be a nurse.

I've grown up helping take care of my family and love taking care of people. However, I don't think I realized how it can sometimes be not only physically hard, but mentally and emotionally taxing. I tend to get attached to my patients as I get to know them. Just like any job, there are good days and bad days. Working in women's services where I take care of postpartum and OB/GYN patients, it is usually a happy and exciting place. None the less, it can be one of the saddest places when a newborn doesn't survive. To watch a mother grieve the loss of a newborn baby can be so hard, but I have found that my understanding of the gospel and Christ's Atonement makes this process so much easier and I can feel at peace that one day, they will be reunited. I'm so grateful for the gospel in my life and for the knowledge that we can see our loved ones after this earthly life. I believe that there is a purpose for everything, including death.
